Thousands of smokers across the UK are gearing up to kick the habit today (January 14) to mark National Cigarette Amnesty Day with VPZ.

To mark the occasion, VPZ – formerly Vaporized – projected information and images of their vape pens across landmarks in Edinburgh and Glasgow including the Forth Bridge, Scottish Parliament and Finnieston Crane.

Cigarette Amnesty Day was launched by VPZ to help smokers finally quit for good.

Smokers are invited to visit a VPZ store, dump the cigarettes and pick up their 28-day starter pack to make 2019 the year they give up for good.

The kit, which costs £49.99 has been created to help smokers in their first steps towards a cigarette-free life and includes a vape tank, coils, charger, battery pack and enough e-liquids to last 28 days.

The average smoker of 20 cigarettes a day will save close to £3000 a year if they switch to vaping. It also boats a high success rate of helping you quit as 90 per cent of VPZ customers reported that using a vape has helped them either dramatically cut back or quit smoking altogether.

Doug Mutter, director at VPZ, said: “We have been completely overwhelmed by the number of people coming forward ready to quit smoking for good. Scots are becoming increasingly aware of the public health evidence of successfully stopping smoking through switching to vaping.

“Research has shown that if you can last 28 days without reaching for a cigarette then you are five times more likely to quit smoking for good.

“Smokers can meet our highly trained, knowledgeable staff, and get their own starter kit equipped with everything they need to get them through those 28 days,” he encourages.

VPZ has over 100 stores throughout the UK where you can drop in this National Cigarette Amnesty Day and collect your pack. Visit www.vaporized.co.uk or call 0131 333 3004 for more information.
